2. Get rid of puffy eyes using raw potatoes.

Your roommate may think you’re crazy, but potatoes are an astringent, that means they help decrease water retention and demolish dark circles. Wash, cut, and place the potatoes on your eyes for ten minutes. Rinse with warm water afterwards.

3. Put toothpaste on your pimples.

Don’t ever pop your zits. Not only does it make them more noticeable, but it’s incredibly unhealthy. Make sure to use actual paste, not a gel, and put it on a zit before you go to bed. The toothpaste will dry it out, shrinking the zit, and draw out the oils clogging the pore.

4. Exfoliate with household products.
